^ Amen to that.

My commute home was not the worst drive I've ever had to do, but it's up there. I have to drive through "Springfield" Town Center, and when I got there, I found out that Main Street was CLOSED. (This was NOT reported on the local radio station traffic reports.) The cops diverted all traffic from the main artery onto the back streets I normally take, and then they diverted all traffic to the even-more-back streets, and then they decided, "The hell with you, you're on your own." (Our tax dollars at work. Sigh.) I couldn't pick up a Google Maps signal on my phone, my Garmin was sending me in circles, my husband (who can't read a map to save his life) sent me on a wrong turn, and I got completely lost. AUGH.

Still, I'm sure there were a lot of injuries, maybe some lives lost, and plenty of property damage, so I count myself among the more fortunate as I (eventually) got home in one piece.
